Lindsay Lohan SWAPPED SEATS with her passenger after allegedly striking a club manager in Hollywood early this morning.

Here's the deal -- while Lohan was leaving The Sayers Club after allegedly striking a 26-year-old just after midnight Wednesday ... she was photographed BEHIND THE WHEEL of her Porsche.

But a short time later, Lohan's car was parked next to two police cars on a nearby street ... with Lindsay now sitting in the passenger seat ... and her passenger in the driver's seat ... the ol' Switcheroo.

It's unclear if Lindsay was trying to dupe cops ... or simply didn't feel like driving anymore.

Lindsay Lohan is no Roads Scholar, because she continues to make bad decisions when it comes to cars.

We got this pic of her brand new Porsche -- the entire right side riddled with scratches and dents from an accident.

The good news -- Lindsay wasn't driving. The bad news -- She let the 22-year-old son of a friend drive the whip, which he scraped against a wall while trying to back out of a driveway.

We're told Lindsay is not upset because the kid has insurance and his mom said she'd pay anything insurance didn't cover.

As for the kid -- we're told he "profusely apologized" and Lindsay said she understood.

The same day news broke that his marriage to former "90210" star Jennie Garth was over, "Twilight" hunk Peter Facinelli was spotted out riding his motorcycle -- and no longer wearing his wedding ring -- in L.A. on Tuesday.

The couple were married for 11 years, have three daughters, but have yet to file divorce documents.

Russell Brand has been named in a police report in New Orleans ... by a paparazzo who claims the actor snatched his cell phone out of his hand and fired it through the window of a nearby building ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell TMZ ... a photog named Timothy Jackson filed the report, citing "criminal damages" over an incident that went down Monday night.

Jackson told cops he was with a group of photogs ... when he began to shoot Brand with his iPhone from his car. Jackson claims Brand flipped out, wrestled the phone out of his hand ... and then Nolan Ryan'd it at a nearby building, shattering a glass window.

The pap immediately filed a police report. No word if he got his phone back.

Calls to Brand's rep have not been returned.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... cops are investigating the incident and would like to speak with Brand ASAP.

Chris Brown’s GF is scared to leave her house without bodyguards by her side -- and she's telling friends, it's all because Rihanna's crazy fans are threatening to kill her.

In case you missed it -- there was a lot of speculation last week that Rihanna dissed Karrueche Tran on Twitter -- posting a pic of a bag of rice cakes wearing sunglasses ... with the caption, "Ima a make u my bitch."

The joke -- Karrueche's Vietnamese ... rice cakes ... etc.

But several of Rihanna's fans took the joke one step too far -- unleashing an avalanche of violent threats on Karrueche ... like "I hope Rihanna beat the dog shit outa yo ass!" ... "Watch yo back" ... and "I will kill you."

Rihanna never admitted the rice cake jab was directed at Karrueche -- but sources close to Karrueche tell TMZ, she now refuses to leave her house without Chris Brown's hired muscle by her side.

As for Karrueche's infamous BF -- we're told CB is 100% supportive of his new lady ... despite getting close with Rihanna recently ... and is urging her not to worry.

Halle Berry is constantly on the lookout for possible threats to her daughter's safety ... stalkers, abusers, etc. ... but this weekend, one thing got past Halle ... a GERM-RIDDEN STEEL POLE!

Proving that her performance on "SNL" isn't the only thing that's flat, lippy singer Lana Del Rey flashed her taut belly in a Frank Sinatra half-shirt as she left the Guns N' Roses show in L.A. this weekend.

With her roots showing, a cockeyed facial expression, unflattering baggy men's jeans and a pair of construction boots, Rihanna's braless and see-through mesh top put on quite the R-rated show as she made her way to Da Silvano in the West Village this weekend.

Flaunt 'em if you got 'em.

Katniss, Peeta and Gale -- more commonly known as Jennifer Lawrence (right), Josh Hutcherson (left) and Liam Hemsworth (back) -- arrived in Los Angeles yesterday as the March 23 release of "The Hunger Games" is almost upon us.

The movie is based on a book of the same name ... which at one point was on The New York Times list for over 100 consecutive weeks. Advanced tickets for the movie broke Fandango's record for advanced sales, beating out "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."

Even when not filming the new "Star Trek" movie Zachary Quinto is always in Dr. Spock mode ... thanks to his shaved eyebrows.

The 35-year-old showed off his unfortunate Vulcan look while leaving a cafe in L.A. on Thursday.

With an ironic t-shirt nowhere to be found, Shia LaBeouf proved he hasn't lost his hipster cred -- despite all those "Transformers" movies -- by rocking a grizzly beard in L.A. on Thursday.

Being almost unrecognizable is so cool.

With her dress all bunched up in a wad and her hair as disheveled as can be, Oscar winner Goldie Hawn needed assistance getting into her car after leaving a party in London on Wednesday.

We all need a helping hand sometimes.

Elizabeth Berkley is with child ... this according to Elizabeth Berkley.

She adds, "We are so excited to share this moment and special news! The baby is due this summer"

A healthy-lookin' Demi Moore touched down in L.A. on a private jet last night ... the first time she's been seen in public since her whip-it induced medical emergency back in January ... and TMZ has the pics.

Moore -- who was reportedly vacationing in Turks and Caicos following a stint in treatment -- was greeted with a big 'ol bear hug by a mystery woman who was waiting on the tarmac.

Moore had been off the radar ever since the January 23 incident ... when she was hospitalized for seizure-like symptoms after inhaling nitrous oxide at her L.A. home.
